Hmm.. then this is limited to live mode and potentially detect wrong
machine type if it reads an old data, right?
Also IIUC fallback to the perf binary means it cannot use cross-machine
table. For example, it cannot process data from ARM64 on x86, no? It
seems it should use perf_env.arch.
One more concern is BPF. The BPF should know about the ABI of the
current process so that it can augment the syscall arguments correctly.
Currently it only checks the syscall number but it can be different on
32-bit and 64-bit.
Thanks,
